HC directs govt to discuss question of introducing moral education - 4-Apr-2012
Chennai: The Madras HC has directed the Tamil Nadu govt to discuss the question of introducing 'moral' education as a subject in schools in the state as suggested by an advocate, who attributed increasing aggression by youth due to lack of it.
Disposing of a PIL petition filed by advocate V Kashinatha Bharathi, the First Bench, comprising Chief Justice M Y Eqbal and Justice T S Sivagnanam directed the petitioner to produce a copy of their order along with a representation, given by him to the government, to the Director of School Education, who should discuss the issue and take a decision as per law.
The petitioner, also an office bearer of a unit of Nagapattinam district MDMK, cited various violent instances, including the fatal stabbing of a teacher of a North Chennai school by a student of her class recently.
Stating that moral education is not being imparted to students in schools, he claimed that moral studies, physical education training and yoga classes alone would create better citizens of the future.
He said he had sent a detailed representation to the authorities concerned on March 1, but that there was no reply till date.
